Dreamland : travels inside the secret world of Roswell and Area 51 / Phil Patton
By: Patton, Phil.
Material type:
TextPublisher: New York : Villard, 1998Description: 336 p.ISBN: 9780679456513.Subject(s): Unidentified flying objects | Nevada -- Area 51DDC classification: 813.54 P322D 1998 Summary: There is a place in the Nevada desert the size of Belgium that doesn't officially exist. It is the airbase where test flights of our top-secret experimental military aircraft are conducted and -- not coincidentally -- where the conspiracy theorists insist the Pentagon is hiding UFOs and aliens. This is Dreamland -- or Area 51. For Phil Patton, the idea of writing a travel account of a place he couldn't actually visit was irresistible. What he found was a world where Chick Yeager and the secret planes of the Cold War converged with the Nevada Test Site and alien landings at Roswell. A think tank for aviation engineering, Dreamland can be seen from a summit outside the base's perimeter, a hundred miles north of Las Vegas.
